Hi there, I'm currently conducting user analysis for a magician community project at University. The goal is to create a website for a community of interest that isn't something we are currently knowledgeable in. One of the first goals is trying to establish the demography of magicians.

A reply to this would be very much appreciated as it will allow us to identify the users and be able to design the website in such a way to cater for as many as possible. Do note that this website will be kept on the University servers and will not interfere with this community.

Note: Fields are optional and you may fill in only the information you wish to.
